Compatible with your EHR” is not the same as “deeply integrated with your EHR.” Push vendors on exactly how data flows and where it lands.
Automated Patient Intake Software
Patient Intake.
Digitized.
Automated. Done.
healow Genie™ replaces clipboards, manual data entry, and front desk bottlenecks
with AI-powered intake that flows directly into your EHR before patients ever walk through the door.
The Clipboard Is Costing You More Than You Think
Manual intake does not just slow down your front desk.
It creates errors, drives away patients, and quietly drains your revenue every single day.
20 Minutes Per Patient on Paperwork
Practices handling hundreds of daily calls while staff spend significant time per patient on manual intake tasks that should not require a human at all.
Patients Walking Out the Door
Long wait times caused by front desk bottlenecks push patients toward practices that make the experience faster and easier.
Errors That Require Follow-Up Calls
Up to 30% of paper forms contain mistakes that staff have to chase down later, creating rework that compounds across hundreds of visits.
There is a smarter way to bring patients into your practice.
Intake That Works Before Patients Arrive
healow Genie replaces paper forms with a digital intake experience patients can complete on any device, at any time. Data flows directly into your EHR with no manual re-keying required.
Straight Into Your EHR. No Re-Keying.
Two-way sync with direct write-back eliminates duplicate entry entirely. Real-time data flow into patient records means your team starts every visit with complete, accurate information already in place.
Built for HIPAA from the Ground Up
BAA requirements, encryption standards, and full audit trails ensure sensitive patient data is handled securely at every step of the intake process.
Forms That Fit Your Specialty
Customizable, specialty-specific workflows for orthopedic, mental health, primary care, and more. Patients only see what is relevant to their visit type.
Complete on Any Device, Anywhere
Mobile, tablet, kiosk, and web portal options let patients complete intake on their preferred device at home or in the waiting room.
Insurance Verified Before They Arrive
Real-time eligibility checks run automatically during intake, catching coverage issues early and reducing claim denials before services are ever rendered.
AI That Answers Questions Instantly
Natural language processing handles patient questions in real time via voice, text, or chat, reducing inbound calls and keeping staff focused on in-office care.

What to Watch Out for When Choosing an Intake Solution
Most intake platforms look great in a demo. Here is what to look for before you commit.
Do Not Start Too Complex.
Launch core features first and phase in advanced capabilities over time. Trying to do everything at once is the fastest way to slow down adoption.
Train Your Front Desk Thoroughly.
Technology only works when the people using it are fully onboarded. Skipping staff training is the most common reason intake rollouts underperform.
Test Beyond the Demo.
What looks polished in a sales demo may not survive a 500-call day. Ask vendors for real-world performance data before you decide.
Understand What Integration Really Means.
Communicate the Change to Patients.
Patients need clear guidance on completing pre-visit forms. Without proactive communication, digital intake adoption stays low and the benefits never materialize.
